Message from Her Excellency, Marie Bashir AC CVO

Sydney Peace Foundation

As Governor of New South Wales and as former Chancellor of the University of Sydney, I am immensely proud of the wonderful work undertaken by The Sydney Peace Foundation. The Foundation and its many members advocate for peace with justice; educating and inspiring all of us to think more deeply about the world in which we live.

Under the leadership of Emeritus Professor Stuart Rees, Chair of the Foundation, the Foundation has been a forceful and well recognized promoter of peace, honouring champions of human rights from around the world including Professor Muhammad Yunnus, Archbishop Emeritus , Xanana Gusmao, Sir , , Dr , Arundathi Roy, , , Dr , Patrick Dodson, , Dr , Professor and Senator .

Unfortunately, commitments prohibited me from attending the 2013 awarding of the Peace Prize to Dr Cynthia Maung for her inspirational work on the Thai Burma border where she runs a hospital for Burmese refugees, migrant workers and orphans. She and her work embody the idea of peace with justice and I congratulate the Foundation for recognizing her invaluable work with some of the world’s most needy.

I look forward to learning who the 2014 Peace Prize recipient will be and to being able to be part of the Foundation’s important, continuing work.

Professor Marie R Bashir AC CVO SYDNEY PEACE FOUNDATION 2 Governor of New South Wales

Dear Jane

Sydney Peace Foundation

I commend the Sydney Peace Foundation for its important work promoting peace and justice, including through the Sydney Peace Prize.

The has been a proud sponsor of this prize since its inception sixteen years ago. ’s only international award for peace is an invaluable way of recognising outstanding contributions to peace, justice, nonviolence and to human rights.

The Sydney Peace Prize reminds us that urgent action is needed to address human rights.

Last year saw the death of , an inspirational leader whose example still shines brightly. His life showed the importance of peace and justice, and his death reminds us that it is not an unattainable dream, but a reality that is achievable with determination and passion.

The 2013 Sydney Peace Prize recipient, the remarkable Dr Cynthia Maung, has treated countless thousands of refugees, migrant workers and orphans in her hospital in on the Burmese border. She welcomes more than a hundred thousand patients annually, and provides schooling and meals for up to a thousand children each day.

Dr Maung is a practical example of peace with justice.

On behalf of the City of Sydney, I congratulate the Sydney Peace Foundation on the continued success of the Sydney Peace Prize.

Yours sincerely

Clover Moore Lord Mayor of Sydney

The annual fund raising appeal was successful again this year but perhaps it depended somewhat disproportionately on the generosity of key donors such as Steve Killelea and Alan Cameron.

In addition to our highly skilled, selfless – ‘nothing too much trouble ‘ – Executive Officer Juliet Bennett, I also acknowl- edge the selfless commitment of our part-time colleague Bonnie Kelly and, in the months running up to November’s Peace Prize events, the imagination and efficiency of volun- teers Lisa Fennis and Kerstin Jonzon. Zahra Shafigh’s ability, on one day per week employment, to keep alive the Youth Peace Initiative has also been invaluable.

Clover Moore Lord Mayor of Sydney and Dr Cynthia Maung On September 1st Jane Singleton joined us as the Foun- dation’s new Director. Her distinguished career as inaugu- ral presenter and senior reporter for ABC television’s 7:30 Report, as the founder and director of her own public affairs consultancy dealing with ethical campaigns in the public interest, has ensured that Jane is already well known across the country. Her experience in coordinating social justice campaigns will be of enormous benefit to the Peace Foun- dations’ advocacy work. The campaigns in which Jane was very directly involved include the fight for self-determination for , the unbanning of drug RU486 and for compensation for asbestos victims. I am both relieved and pleased, and so are my colleagues, that Jane is the Foundation’s Director. Under her leadership we look forward to an exciting and successful 2014.

In 2013 the Foundation sustained and improved the relation- ships forged in the previous years, not only with the media, but also with our supporters and friends. Alongside their in- credibly demanding everyday schedules, the Foundation’s small and busy team worked collaboratively to engage print and online media outlets, as well as radio and television. The team has nurtured relationships with several of Austral- ia’s most respected news sources.

This is balanced by other years’ income, for reports are testimony to the important role each has played. The Foundation’s support base has continued to grow and strengthen. Nevertheless I speculate how much more we could achieve with additional resources. Increasing the hours of our part-time staff by one or two days each would double our capacity. I receive at least one email a fortnight from recent graduates of international relations, government, social sciences and peace studies, asking if the Foundation has any work or internships available. Our Chair believes creating jobs is an essential part of peace with justice, and I hope that the Foundation can provide paid work to more graduates of peace and conflict studies.
